Song Lyrics

I stare into nothing, I yearn for the innocence I once think I had
A lack of sense for a fear that grows as I grow older
I've carried these thoughts
And I've drowned them in work
And I've worn myself blue on the way down
Oh mother, would you cry if you hear this song?

I woke up with dreams, I've not dreamt for a month
I was ill and I couldn't sleep long
I dreamt I'd gone back home to collect my old winter coat
It's that time of year and not odd growing up in a place that always was cold
Oh mother I woke up so sad having stayed where I swam in your kindness and warmth
So quiet and strong
Quiet and strong

Mother would you cry if I tell you the things I have done?
Hurried my death and done my beauty so wrong
I stare into nothing and slow down my thoughts
As I turn off the light and get on with my work
I stare into nothing and slow down my thoughts
As I turn off the light and get on with my work
I stare into nothing and slow down my thoughts
As I turn off the light and get on with my work
I stare into nothing and slow down my thoughts
As I turn off the light and get on with my work
I stare into nothing and slow down my thoughts
As I turn off the light and get on with my work
(I stare into nothing and slow down my thoughts)
I stare into nothing and slow down my thoughts
(As I turn off the light and get on with my work)
As I turn off the light and get on with my work

On with my work
On with my work
